Pradeep – 1996 The leaves of Sida ovata is not matching with my plant, dear …, please check the collage, first one is S. ovata at efi and other images are mine There are lot of variations in the leaves in Sida species.

Hence I am agree the decision whatever you taking It is a book link. You have to scroll a lot to find the correct illustrations. Yes, listed many Sida sp., but free availability is limited to certain sections only, But both the illustrations can be seen.
